2024 "D&D" all hinges on the VTT. If they get the subs, it could do well for a time, but then Hasbro will try to monetize the crap out of it with micro transactions until people get fed up and move on to something else. The lifespan of digital video games like this is pretty short.

Same here. WotC lost my support a long time ago.

Mechanically, TSR books were all over the map. They were not balanced, but they didn't really care much about balance back then. Their strength was in the lore and fluff material. It was creative, well written, and was not infected by postmodernist nonsense. From TSR, I loved the campaign...

You're spot on about Paizo. Their adventure paths are the gold standard of adventure design and literally give the GM an entire campaign framework to run. The adventure books for 5e sold well only because D&D is so much more popular now due to social media and marketing. The majority of the 5e...

Better products and writers.

No kidding. I'm still amazed that anyone actually still has faith in WotC after the repeated mistakes, product quality issues, and communication blunders (not to mention the OGL scandal that sparked it all off) without any sign whatsoever of learning from their past mistakes. A company that...

I've seen enough of it.

Very aware they retconned it in past editions, but the end result was actually pretty creative and fun. This book goes in a totally different direction which comes across as dull and uninspired to me. Read the thread, and I can't say I agree with most of it. This product definitely isn't for...

Yes, yes, no. Go check out what the deck used to be in previous editions of D&D, the lore behind it, as well as the lore behind the Medusa "girlfriend". WotC hasn't produced a quality physical product in a long while. Their hardcovers fall apart because they use cheap glue binding instead of...

Another retcon of D&D and Greek lore that wasn't required, with a physical product of questionable quality, all for the low low price of $100 USD. Good grief.

I will second that whole-heartedly. I'm just sick to death of "5e" adaptations of everything. So much so that I sold all of my 5e books and purchased a whole bunch of Pathfinder 1e material.

Free League Kickstarters are legendary for their quality, value, and being delivered on-time. Not suprised to see them so high on that list. My mountain of Forbidden Lands books and boxes in my bedroom is testament to that lol.

Meh, I'll stick to Pathfinder 1e.

I can't speak for Vaesen, but their other games are very successful. I have ALL of the Forbidden Lands material, and their Kickstarters usually do really really well.

Nobody can touch Free League for value and quality. Nobody.

I think we are two peas in a pod. I'm in the exact same boat as you. I too will not be giving any more money to WotC. I'm running a dark sun 5e game for 3 of my friends currently, but that's the last 5e game I'll be involved in. I've quit two other games as well because I'm just sick of the...

There's tons of games out there that don't need to slap a "5e" logo onto their game because, believe it or not, 5e isn't a great fit for a lot of games besides D&D.

This was one of the best D&D lore books ever written, for one of the best editions of the game.

You're better off without it, judging by what was done to the other settings. Just use a fan conversion, there are many.
